I found an old friend

When I gave the forgiveness, I said I’d never give
I found an old friend.
All the walls fell away.
And my heart could breathe again.

Once, when we were still young, we said forever like we meant it.
Then life happened, and we fell apart like young lovers often do.
I wish I knew then what was lost would be found.
Today, my heart beats again for you.

Because when I gave the forgiveness, I said I’d never give
I found my old friend.
All the walls fell away.
And my heart could breathe again.

Now, when I look at your faded blue eyes
All I want is to reach past your body right to your soul.
I want to kiss you in that old rocking chair
And write a new story about us growing old.

So there is no more forgiveness to give
There are just you and me, old friends.
The walls are put away.
And my heart breathes again.
